It is indeed, but this is a shorthand representation of the date and  
not a binary numeral which would be as Dave Webster points out (read  
from the right, of course).

For palindrome aficionados the really interesting moment this year  
will be one minute after 11 AM on November 11 of this year

MMHHDDMMYY = 0111111110

Although one minute after after 8 PM on February 22 will also be of  
interest:

MMHHDDMMYY = 0120220210

I'll leave it to interested readers to come up with other palindromic  
moments for this upcoming year.

Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
